Epilogue

The elves, demons, and humans signed a peace treaty. With both well known dragon riders dead, they realized it was just a rivlary that Siegfried blinded the elves to thinking that Atemu was dangerous. And so, the three races became friends, and started a success of training dragon riders, and helping each other when there was need.

It turns out that Atemu's will explains that the council will choose someone who is good as the king of demons, but the person must be willing. And it also says that the two children's guardian can be Tyr, and all three gifts shall be returned to the serpent gods. And so the gifts were returned to the serpent gods, never to return or be heard of again.

Everyone was surprised that Kohaku died, for he wasn't a full partner with Atemu. But he explained to Kisara that they've bonded together like a real dragon and rider. Kisara and Iactos mourned for Kohaku's death, as well as his siblings. A little after, Ironheart died of old age. Both Kohaku and the three legendary dragons were turned into crystal statues in the same cave where Horachty is.

The council had the idea that Seto would be the right choice, but the demon said no. He explains that if he were to become king of demons, there'd be more risk that he and the children will be targeted to be killed. The council argued that the demons will do what they can to protect their king and the children.

"That's what I'm afraid of, I can't let lives be in danger just for me and the children." Seto argued.

With that, the council didn't push Seto further of becoming king of demons. Instead, they turned to none other than Malik. That may sound odd but ever since he became a demon, he's been less of a phsyco and more of a person who cared for others. He doesn't admit it but he agreed to be the new king of demons. With that settled, Seto said goodbye, and left with the children.

Since then, only Tyr knew of where Seto and his sons are. They promised each other that they'll never tell anyone else. Yugi at first felt angry, but when Tyr explained it was for the safety for the children that they would disappear and become just a legend and nothing more, the King of Gondor sighed and smiled.

"I may never see them again, but I'm glad I was there when they were born." Yugi said as a tear fell down his cheek.

It turns out Tyr was right, Seto and the children are now just a legend, where legend became myth, and myth became nothing more than just a bedtime story for little kids. But there were cases that children were saved from disasters by mysterious demon brothers, looking exactly like the description of the children in their bedtime stories.

Sirius and Artemus have loved their father, Tyr, and even Atemu. Even though they never met their father, Artemus somehow feels a connection to Atemu. Seto had told everything about Atemu to his sons, and he couldn't help but smile when they learn something new about the dragon rider. For over the years Seto watched his sons grow, and Sirius not just looks like his living father, but also acts like him in every way.

Artemus is the same, but instead he's like both of his parents in almost every way possible. But unfortunately he's not as tall as his brother Sirius, instead he's around the same height as Atemu. Both Sirius and Seto tease Artemus for being short, which gets him reared up to pout and growl. Throughout his life of fathering his sons, Seto couldn't help but see how similiar Artemus is to Atemu.

When Sirius and Artemus became of age to have a mate, they weren't interested with anyone that lived nearby. Seto got the feeling that they were only just getting away from any females to be their mate, it was each other that they wanted. At first they were embarrassed, but Seto explained he didn't mind. Love is love, the most precious thing in the world. And its very rare in these times to find true love.

"Its always a good feeling, to find your true love. The one person you can trust, the one person who can help you, the one person who'll be there to love you until the end of time." Seto explained to his two sons.

"Is that how you felt with Outo-sama(1)?" Artemus asked.

"Yes, and even though he's dead, I still love him." Seto said.

"But aren't you lonely without him?" Sirius asked.

"No, because he left me with you two." Seto smiled, pulling his sons into a group hug.

"Group hug!" Artemus beamed.

"You really are cute, little brother." Sirius teased as Seto laughed.

"I'm not little! I'm the same age as you are." Artemus pouted.

"But I'm still older, utsukushii(2)." Sirius chuckled.

Artemus blushed. "Boku wa kimi no mono(3), Aobi(4)."

"Ashiteru, Artemus."

"Ashiteru, Sirius."

With that, the brothers started out slow. And it brought them even closer to know what the other is thinking in certain situations. And even though they had the choice of leaving to live on their own, they stayed with Seto. And its been that way until Seto breathed his last breath, his last words were loud enough for his sons to hear them.

"Love you, Atemu, Sirius, Artemus. See ya soon." and with that the blue eyes never shone brightly again. Kisara hummed a lovely song that used to put the two brother's to sleep, and she hummed until she could no longer hum. With that, the brothers buried Seto with his lover, and let Tyr take Kisara's body to become another dragon crystal statue, standing on Horachty's right side, while the other stood the statue Kohaku.

The brothers now inherited their parent's swords, Sirius owning Sohi and Artemus Hien. And then, they disappeared again, only to be known as a good story. And with many centuries later, both Atemu and Seto were born again in the world, this time in the times of Egypt at its peak of power. Atemu being pharaoh, and his lover as his high priest at his side, Seto.

But hey, thats a different story.

Me: well there's that. man, its hard to believe that this all started with my fic Dragon Riders. XD

1) Outo means "Father", the two brothers call Atemu Outo-sama, and they call Seto Father.

2) Utsukushii means "Beautiful"

3) Boku wa kimi no mono is the phrase for "I'm yours"

4) Ao means "Blue", and Bi means "Beauty". so technically he's calling Sirius "Blue Beauty", due to Sirius's blue eyes.
